Oolong teas, tastings, intimate dinners, and cookies
"A diminutive tea house where Elena Liao serves excellent, sometimes hard-to-find Taiwanese oolong teas while her husband, an erstwhile El Bulli chef, prepares complementary sweet and savory treats, making it a quiet spot for refined postprandial tea service." - David Farley
"A three-month subscription that pairs a curated assortment of Taiwanese oolongs with treats like pineapple linzers to complement the tea’s delicate notes; tea-only and treat-only subscriptions are also available." - Amy McCarthy
"Becoming a “tea person” can feel daunting. Strainer versus gaiwan? Does that temperature-programmable kettle really matter? Simplify the process slightly with these sachets of Té Company’s flavorful Taiwanese teas." - Bettina Makalintal
"Does sitting in a relaxing zen tea room inside a West Village townhouse sound like the perfect Saturday afternoon? Say no more. Té Company serves up to 30 different kinds of teas alongside a light lunch menu and baked snacks. Taiwanese-American owner Elena Liao and her husband Frederico Ribeiro founded Té Company a decade ago to help drive awareness of premium Taiwanese teas and make them more accessible. As you might’ve guessed, “Te” means tea in Taiwanese and was decided as the name because it’s a connection to Liao’s family and lineage from Fujin. Try a pot of the wild chrysanthemum herbal tea for a calming and lightly sweet flavor and definitely grab one of the very popular pineapple Linzer cookies." - esther cho, with warm welcome, kenny yang
"Te Company specializes in Taiwanese mooncakes with a soft, white, flaky, rounded crust that’s different from the Cantonese versions featuring intricate patterns. Opt for three different fillings: sweetened mung bean paste, red bean paste with salted egg yolk, or buttery mung bean paste dotted with black truffles. Pre-order them online." - Caroline Shin
